He needs one.
Even if he did nothing wrong he should hire one. But in this case he did.

Not only has he hired a lawyer, but specifically a criminal defense lawyer.
Also, it's now being reported the McQueary won't be at the game Saturday due to "multiple threats". Threats wouldn't surprise me seeing as PSU themselves won't do the right thing and fire his ***.

He'd be a fool not to. Even if there's nothing else to uncover.

Correct. Plaintiffs will always go after the deepest pocket, and paterno's pockets are plenty deep. There will be civil lawsuits aplenty coming at the old fart very soon. This lawyer will help him protect his fortune. Blecchh.

What kind of lawyer would you expect him to hire? An over-worked, whipped M&A lawyer out of Chicago-ish?

Unless he's facing charges, why a criminal lawyer rather than one who *gasp* specializes in civil lawsuits?
So...a week?

That he was hauled in front of a Grand Jury and asked what he knew about boys getting raped and didn't get a defense lawyer until now doesn't really show anything.

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't last out 2011...

then we'll hear rumors that he faked his own death.
and oh by the way, if you were a multi-millionaire, who didn't mind livin a quiet life on the down-low, and you were facing a lot of civil lawsuits--wouldn't you be willing to fake your own death?
I'd do it. Seems kind of fun.

If he is, in fact, hiring a criminal attorney, which has been disputed, it could be because he is at the very least a witness in a criminal investigation. Witnesses in criminal investigations often retain criminal attorneys, whether or not they believe that they will ever face criminal charges. Further he may also want to make sure that he does not commit perjury, and a criminal attorney would be helpful for this purpose. Finally, he may want the advice of a criminal attorney incase he does, in fact, face criminal charges or simply to make sure that he has not committed a crime in the past.
You cannot determine somebody's guilt or innocence based upon which kind of attorney he or she employs.
(P.S. Get an inhaler to help you with that *gasp* asthma.)

And why don't you get your lips off of Scott Paterno's ***?
